Strippers Held Hostage near Atlanta
One story says the four suspects were either from India or the Middle East. How were they in the US? On "entertainment visas". Not sure what an entertainment visa is, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't include pimping out Indian strippers.
Wait. Indian strippers? What the ... ?
The perps apparantly worked at the Mehfil Bar and Grill in Norcross, an Atlanta suburb. The website promises "live entertainment from Mumbai", "Desi music", and shows some female dancers. They also have private rooms and do bachelor parties.
I've never been to a real honest-to-goodness bachelor party, but if Tom Hanks has taught me anything they usually include donkeys. And Tawney Kittan.
Anyway, since Laura sent this link in I don't feel half as bad throwing up the pics.
Anyway, she noted the names which aren't nearly as interesting as, um, the pics. They're Muslim names, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with anything.
Maybe we should deport the lot of them, but to Pakistan instead of India. You know, loosen the uptight SOBs up a little bit. The Pakistanis, not the Indians.
On to the story:
Lilburn police on Thursday announced the arrests of Shifiqat Muhammad Ali, 26, of Birmingham; Lilburn residents Vijay Kamal Bannerjee, 26, and Govino K Vishwa, 42; and Farrukh Khan of Hoover, Ala., whose age was not listed...The captives, all of whom were from India, could not leave the house without a guard. That includes six women who worked as exotic dancers at a Norcross bar. Their captors held their passports, money and return airline tickets.
